    What an absolute pleasure to have Luke, B. Shaw and this coaching staff in place. I can see steady growth for this team over the next few years and hopefully we can add at least one top tier FA to the mix to put us back in contention. I agree with Weezy, this team reminds me a lot of the Nick the Quick, Eddie Jones teams before Shaq and Kobe. Super fun to watch, nice talent on display, and tons of fight. Luke and company have us playing LAKER BASKETBALL once again. Feels so good.

    Nick Young is the quintessential measuring stick to compare last year's coaching to this year's. Young was a very solid 6th man under D'Antoni. We were all happy with the contract he signed. Boron made us wish he would retire because of how useless he had become. Ryan Kelly was getting minutes at the 3 over him. Luke comes in and STARTS Nick Young, and Nick Young suddenly remembers how to score again and plays not just decent defense, but good defense. Knowing Boron, he probably blames the players for doing this to him.

    Can they officially be called the Bench Mob now?

    Who would have though moving JC to the bench would be working so well. Who would have thought Lou would be playing back up PG instead of Calderon or Huertas. Who would have thought Ingram being point forward as a rookie would work well.

    Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke.

    ^^^ So f****** good!! That ranking and the numbers. That's a Huge weapon.

    But we had a Bench Mob. How can "Bench Mob" be put on steroids with a tiny bit of modification, or change of words. The original Bench Mob was great those years but these guys this year are going to be something else..... even better.


    I kid you not, I just opened that attachment again and seeing the L.A. Lakers on top of the entire NBA in such an important competitive strategic area gave me a quick little shiver if not full on goose bumps.

    vs

    Built in excuse for losing that Boron the a-Hole had with, "Yes I'm frustrated .... we talked about all this stuff in practice but these guys are young, and even looked scared to me out there as well." Besides I have this game that's the funnest thing ever to do with them that's motivation by calling them out in the press. Just like Phil used to do. I think. :

    Possibly, but I think Luke likes to have one of Young or Lou in there for that added scoring punch and veteran experience.

    Hard to believe a few short months ago this was our coaching philosophy:

    [​IMG]

    I doubt Scott can pick up an assistant job for a while. Maybe after a few years vacation and some study of the modern game. Head coach job is out of the question though, wrong personality type for this day and age.

    I wonder how much credit we need to give Byron for showing the team what their life could be like?

    I'm sure they mean it when they say "I love basketball" now under Luke

    He's good for TV... I think he knows people can appreciate his experience as a player and coach to work his way up the ranks. Think he stays permanently away from coaching.

    That was the lineup that finished off the Rockets late in the 4th quarter.

    I'd rather see Zubac out there than TRob, Luke. Make it happen.
